Video Control Center The Enterprise Video Communications Challenge

Most large organizations today are increasing their use of video to communicate, teach, market and to be more competitive. Companies are spending a tremendous amount of time and money on expensive production equipment with the goal of providing high quality, reliable video presentations that scale to large international audiences. However, these efforts and investments often do not meet their return goals because there is no underlying system to manage the events, content and resources to simplify the production and to reliably search, access, secure and distribute over the company’s existing infrastructure.

The Solution: Media Publisher’s Video Control Center

Large enterprises that have experienced these challenges have found that installing a platform system for all video applications, content and resources provides a high value, high return approach to handling the complexity and the scalability in use cases and audience size. These companies have found that a single system that can support the current best of breed components in the video infrastructure, including encoders, editing tools, streaming servers, CDNs, storage devices, rights control/DRM, portals, etc., provides the flexibility, cost control and risk mitigation they are looking for. Media Publisher's Video Control Center (VCC) is the first and only software platform to address all of these issues by connecting the pieces of the video infrastructure together in a way that provides centralized control and virtually unlimited scalability, while exposing predefined capabilities to end users for ongoing publishing tasks they can perform themselves. Media Publisher's VCC interoperates with and leverages an enterprise's existing IT infrastructure to extend the solution and increase adoption throughout a distributed enterprise to achieve maximum return on investment.
